MyMarathonDVD Personalized Race Highlights Video
Submitted by Rickshaw :: Sat Jan 15, 2005 5:49 pm
If you've ever wanted to star in your own sports highlights video, a company called MyMarathonDVD is happy to give you a chance. Launched in 2003, the company now offers personalized race highlight videos to runners at a growing list of marathons, including Boston, LA, Honolulu, and the Hawaii Ironman. For $50, you'll get a 30-minute DVD of professionally edited race footage, including 5 minutes of footage of yourself at various points along the course. This may be the ultimate race momento.
To capture your personalized footage, multiple cameras are placed on both sides of the road at the start, finish, and every timing mat along the way. Your split times are used to find the appropriate section of video, and ta-da! There's a video clip of you at mile 20, just before you went to pieces. The personalized segments are combined with footage of the start, race leaders, and other general-interest content to make a complete documentary of the race. For runners who've invested months or years of training to race their best, the video can be a great way to show friends and family what your passion is all about.
